IN-clause in HQL or Java Persistence Query Language

Solution 1:

Are you using Hibernate's Query object, or JPA? For JPA, it should work fine:

String jpql = "from A where name in (:names)";
Query q = em.createQuery(jpql);
q.setParameter("names", l);

For Hibernate's, you'll need to use the setParameterList:

String hql = "from A where name in (:names)";
Query q = s.createQuery(hql);
q.setParameterList("names", l);

Solution 2:

in HQL you can use query parameter and set Collection with setParameterList method.

    Query q = session.createQuery("SELECT entity FROM Entity entity WHERE name IN (:names)");
    q.setParameterList("names", names);

Solution 3:

Leaving out the parenthesis and simply calling 'setParameter' now works with at least Hibernate.

String jpql = "from A where name in :names";
Query q = em.createQuery(jpql);
q.setParameter("names", l);

Solution 4:

Using pure JPA with Hibernate 5.0.2.Final as the actual provider the following seems to work with positional parameters as well:

Entity.java:

@Entity
@NamedQueries({
    @NamedQuery(name = "byAttributes", query = "select e from Entity e where e.attribute in (?1)") })
public class Entity {
    @Column(name = "attribute")
    private String attribute;
}

Dao.java:

public class Dao {
    public List<Entity> findByAttributes(Set<String> attributes) {
        Query query = em.createNamedQuery("byAttributes");
        query.setParameter(1, attributes);

        List<Entity> entities = query.getResultList();
        return entities;
    }
}
